Type A286 alloy (S66286) is an iron-base superalloy useful for applications requiring high strength and
corrosion resistance up to 1300°F (704°C) and for lower stress applications at higher temperatures. Type
A286 alloy is a heat and corrosion resistant austenitic iron-base material which can be age hardened to a
high strength level. The alloy is also used for low temperature applications requiring a ductile, non-magnetic
high strength material at temperatures ranging from above room temperature down to at least -320°F (-
196°C). The alloy may be used for moderate corrosion applications in aqueous solutions. Type A286 alloy can
be produced by AOD refining or vacuum induction melting. Vacuum arc or electroslag remelting procedures
may be used to further refine the material.

Resistance to Corrosion: Type A286 alloy content is similar in chromium, nickel, and molybdenum to some of
the austenitic stainless steels. Consequently, A286 alloy possesses a level of aqueous corrosion resistance
comparable to that of the austenitic stainless steels. In elevated temperature service, the level of corrosion
resistance to atmospheres such as those encountered in jet engine applications is excellent to at least 1300°F
(704°C). Oxidation resistance is high for continuous service up to 1500°F (816°C) and intermittent service up to
1800°F (982°C).
